Welcome my fellow West End physicians!

My name is Aaren Grigg and I am an FM-OB practicing at The Borough Health & Wellness and St Joseph’s Health Centre.

I joined the Primary Care Council to advocate for physicians as we strive to create a compassionate healthcare experience that enhances the lives of our patients and community.

I am excited at the opportunity to continue to engage with our growing community and highlight the value of our profession.
